I cannot possibly say enough great things about Dr. Thadani to say how wonderful her is. He is an expert surgeon because I healed very quickly as in 3 weeks. My pain and limp is gone.

I called at 8:10 this morning and was able to get for a 2:00 app. with Dr. Vora (he had a cancellation). Got there and they had me in the exam room within 5 mins. Saw how they worked the place and it was like a well-oiled machine. IN AND OUT. Found out I didn't have a sprain, but a torn Achilles tendon. He was was cool... didin't send me for expensive tests, knew what he was doing, gave me a boot cast and prescription for meds and told me to stay off it for a week. No frills nice guy, and to the point..........couldn't ask for anything more. GREAT bedside manner............WAY COOL GUY.

When we left the massage parlor we had to get to the other side of a busy highway by going up the stairs, crossing an overhead walkway & down the stairs on the other side of the road. When I took the first step down my left knee popped & pain shot through my leg (so much for an awesome massage). Anyway my knee has been in an up and down cycle. Lately it has been bothering me & creating enough pain to want to go see an orthopedic doctor. I called up Illinois Bone & Joint Institute (IBJI) After talking to my nephew (who use to work for IBJI in Gurnee I called IBJI @ 9am. Amazing I had an appointment @ 10am. This IBJI is located @ 9000 Waukegan Road where ABT use to be located. I scheduled an appointment w/Dr Raab an orthopedic surgeon. Kelly his Nurse Practitioner came in and assessed the situation. They took me in to get an X-ray of my knee & brought me back to the exam room. After waiting for a while Dr Rabb came in examined my leg. After examining my leg he noticed swelling on the knee but and told me there was liquid on my knee joint. He then proceeded to extract the liquid & give me a shot of cortisone which greatly reduced the swelling & pain. I was told to get a knee compression sock which really helps to further stabilize my knee. Both Dr Raab & Kelly were very friendly & personable making the visit more enjoyable. The best part is Dr Raab didn't feel that I needed to have knee surgery yet.

After breaking my wrist…read morein a scooter accident, I was anxious about the recovery process and worried about whether I'd regain full strength and mobility. Dr.Fernandez not only repaired my wrist flawlessly, but also guided me through every step of the healing journey with confidence, clarity, and genuine compassion. What really struck me was how closely my injury mirrored the one featured in a Chicago Bulls documentary I recently watched -- the same type of wrist break, the same challenges, and the same determination to get back to normal. Seeing that athlete's recovery story gave me hope, and Dr.Fernandez delivered that same level of expert care in real life. I'm incredibly thankful for the precision of the surgery, the thoughtful follow‑up, and the encouragement that kept me motivated. Thanks to Dr.Fernandez, I'm healing beautifully and feeling stronger every day. If you're looking for a skilled, attentive, and truly outstanding orthopedic specialist, Dr.Fernandez is definitely a step above the rest.
